FMHA SEEKS HOUSING APPLICANTS A little-known program of the Farmers Home Admini stration, the Section 504 Rural Housing Loan and Grant Program, is seeking low-income applicants who do not qualify for the better known Section 502 home loan program. The "504 Program" provides loans and grants to very low income owner-occupants in rural areas who need to repair or improve their homes. Grants may be made only to applicants 62 years of age or older and cannot exceed $5,000. Loans or combination loans and grants may not exceed $7,500. The interest rate for loans is one percent (1.00) and the repayment period must not exceed 20 years. "Each of our 19 county offices has set a goal of making at least one 504 loan. They are looking for eligible applicants," said Oregon State Director David T. Chen. He noted that Oregon was allocated $284,000 for the program. Inquires may be addressed to county offices located in Albany, Baker, Coquille, Dallas, Eugene, Hillsboro, Klamath Falls, LaGrande, Madras, McMinnville, Medford, Ontario, Oregon City, Pendleton, Redmond, Roseburg, Salem, St. Helens and The Dalles.
